6. Conveyor Set Up Information with Heat Tunnel
•
This is an example of a standard conveyor set up (NB1/ HT6/ CV4.5-HT). We recommend a
minimum of eighteen inches (18”) of space between the Neck Bander unit and the Heat
Tunnel. If the machines are too close, the hot air can adversely affect the application of the
seal, causing it to partially shrink before it comes to rest on the bottle.
•
There must be no railings under the Heat Tunnel (they will get very hot). Railings under the
Neck Bander and between the Neck Bander and the Heat Tunnel are generally not needed.
•
You must have a conveyor that can handle the high temperatures, like the CV4.5-HT conveyor,
which has brass wear strips on the starter section (motor end) which replace the standard
plastic wear strips. The heat tunnel should be positioned over the starter section.
•
The heat tunnel can melt the plastic conveyor belt if the conveyor is stopped (or going very
slowly) while the heat tunnel is in operation down close to the belt. If you must stop the
conveyor with a hot tunnel, always move the tunnel away from the conveyor belt before
stopping. The HT6B can be ordered with the Emergency Auto Lift (EAL) option, which will
automatically lift the heat tunnel to its maximum height whenever the conveyor stops or is
going very slowly.
